Charlotte Bobcats Are Open to Making a Deal

Halfway through last season, Charlotte Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins promised no “hard right’’ turn in approaching the NBA’s trade deadline.
While Higgins isn’t predicting a screech of the brakes and a yank on the steering wheel, his tone sounded different Thursday: The Bobcats are definitely in the market for some kind of change.
“We’re very active – our owner wants us to be active,’’ Higgins told the Observer in regard to the Feb. 21 trade deadline.
